Looking to borrow a fish trap - Tri Cities/Port Coquitlam
 

Looking to borrow a fish trap for a witty 3" butterfly fish.
Hes too smart and the others are too dumb for a pop bottle to work.
While hes good with 95% of the corals, i would like to get more open brains in the future and he finds those tasty, and he gets picked on by the melanurus.

Ideally someone close by? Never had to borrow one from somebody so not sure how this normally works LOL

Maybe im blind but i didnt see one on j&l's site either.

Bump to start the day.

Gina, turn your lights off and just use a flash light to catch your fish, much easier and faster.

I tried :( hes smart....
Too smart
And fast.
I built a trap with a plastic bucket. Lets see if hes brave enough to go in it.
Gotta find a better way to get food in there so it doesnt fly out.

It could work....
Black Stripe and clown have all ready gone in and explored. Then again the Black Stripe would probably go explore an open shark mouth....

Ive designed it so fish goes in all i have to do is pull on the fishing line from outside the tank and it will close the door.

Just leave it in for a week,
I mentioned tying a shrimp on a piece or rock or use elastic band but wrap it a bunch of times so they have to pick on the rock to get food. Kinda like you wrapping a bandage over a wound....and keep doing it even if they are inside don't get excited. Like training a cat to go pee in a litter box you can train your fish. Feed the fish only in the trap don't disperse food, eventually they will get use to the trap and then bam done like dinner!

Hmmm i dont have shrimp big enough to tie down. I do have clam strips. So they could work.
And i attached an seaweed clip inside the bucket.
The Black stripe keeps going in and getting a large mouthful and brining it out lol

I have this you can borrow

Why are all the people with traps so far away :(
Well Langleys not that far but by the time i can get out there i wont have enough time for them to get used to it then return it to owner :(

I had to look hard for that guy if you need it I'm not in any rush to get back I can wait tell next time your in the lower mainland I have not used it in over a year I have few fish. I also may have some lps you may want.
